IPod with Large headphones

My question is basically will something happen to the iPod (like circuitry overload) if I use huge on ear headphones. I checked an the impedance is the same on both, the power output of the the large headphones is magnitudes higher though compared to the small buds that come with the iPod. Did anyone use (long time) their iPod with large headphones?

thanks for the answers. The thing is, that the volume in the large headphones is just fine (because impedance is 32 ohms, which is the same as the small white buds), so in this sense I don't need an amp to make it louder. What I am concerned about is will it have some bad impact on the internal components.
I think the headphones you need an amp for have higher impendance, thus your ipod cannot make them sound loud enough.
I am just thinking here:
If you have an amp for say 400W and you connect a 600W speaker to it, this has no bad effect on the amp itself: it just cannot reach the 600W. This should be true for the iPod as well. The headphones would just never reach their max volume (which is fine, because even at 60% of volume, they are already extremely loud).

Best way to manage iPod with large library

Hello all.
I have a nano, and my library is larger than the capacity for it.
I use it primarily for Podcasting, but also put regular music on there as well.
Whenever iTunes does its auto-sync, it always tries to put the whole library on my nano. There is not enough space, so I am always needing to delete stuff out of the library, which is inconvenient.
I could do it manually, but this would be a major pain with all of the different podcasts that I listen to regularly (around 6). The fact that they automatically transfer over is very convenient.
Is there any way to direct iTunes to intelligently update my ipod? Select specific folders, or something? I would like the podcasts to auto-update, but be able to choose which music I want to go on the nano without needing to slim down my library all the time.
Much thanks in advance.
Sam

Hello, and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
simply select your iPod in the source list (left column) and click on the on the music tab on the right, then select any playlists you wish to sync.
Hope this helps.

I have an older ipod with a large itunes library and a new ipa 2. the both have the same email but different passwords.Can i sink th old ipod's library ith the new ipad's library?

I have an older ipod with a large itunes library. I have a new ipad2. Both have the same email address but different passwords. Can I merge both itunes libraries?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

No. I'm sorry. But, i think it uses the headphones as an antenna so it has to be plugged in to headphones in order to make it work. but, it burns the battery down so i don't use the radio function that much.

My ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

my ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

Sure is, you can use anything with the standard 3.5mm plug.

How do I fill a 40GB iPod with random subset of a larger music library?

I have more songs than will fit on my 40GB ipod. I would like to have a random subset of my library uploaded to fill my ipod. And then next time, I want to replace all the songs on my ipod with another random subset of my library. I believe there is a way to do this with smaller ipods. Can I do this with my 40GB model?
Thanks.

You can have Itunes make a smart playlist that randomly selects about 32 GB worth of music onto a playlist, and make that playlist automatically update to your Ipod.
I would then add to the playlist a rule that says if the song has been played within the last 4 months say, it gets kicked out of the playlist.

My ipod works fine with some headphones but when I put others in it plays for about 20 seconds than fades and shuts off?

I can use one of my skullcandys but when i try to use the other pair it works for about 20 or so seconds before it will fade away

Make sure the plug is pressed in all the way. The fit seems to be different for different brands, so with some headphones, it takes more pressure to insert the plug completely (including Apple's recent EarPods). If the plug is not completely inserted, you may hear something, but the shuffle does not "see" the headphone so stops playing after a short period.

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

IPOD touch. - Headphone jack no longer working.

I'm new to this site, and it's sincerely making me angry.
I got an ipod touch NG december 2008. It ran fine, but it seems as soon as my warranty ran out, the headphone jack decided to mess up. Now, I only get audio out of my right headphone, and not the left. It is not to do with the headphones, as I've tried multiple pairs. So, now I read that I have to pay 99 dollars for a repair fee? Is this how it is? Or are there any loopholes around that ridiculous fee considering I paid three hundred dollars for something I expected to actually work.
Has anyone else had this problem? How'd you fix it?
I'm sincerely annoyed with apple, and very much considering changing MP3 forms. Because, my family have all owned a certain IPOD product, and they've all had problems.
Someone, please reply.

the same thing happened to me but i didnt know it would cost about 100 bucks to repair. ive tried it with 3 diffrent pairs of headphones
